So fill and raise your glasses to Spring and the near future!
--


Well, here Arnoldland,

Spring sprung, spurring significant seasonal sprouting of Sages, Simms, and
SUVs

It's a windy but otherwise beautiful Spring day here and I decided to drive
to the local river (Stanislaus) and take a walk to test my knee. I'm still
using a cane, a little, but figured I might even put a rod together, might
not.

Well, the parking lots are all full of Yuppiemobiles, several with their
owners gathered around rigging fly rods. One spot that has, maybe, 5
possible places to stand and pretend to fish, had 11 cars in the lot,
Hummers, Cadillac SUVs and pickups raised so much you need a ladder to get
in the cab. The season's first hatch of conspicuous spenders, blown in
from the Bay Area by the Spring winds.
